My husband and I are pretty lucky. We own a yachting business that allows us to travel all over the country. We’ve been up and down the Florida coast and just recently made a trip to New York. Traveling is something that we enjoy, so when we were looking to expand, one of the things that attracted us to our current home based internet business is the fact that it integrated nicely into our active lifestyle.

When it comes to starting a home based business, you certainly have a lot of choices. The internet has opened a lot of doors for people and has made it possible to start any kind of business you can imagine. If you love making wooden toys, you can start a home based internet business selling your crafts online. The possibilities are endless.

When it comes to achieving your life goals, however, you want to make sure your business fits in with the kind of lifestyle you want to create for yourself. If you are free birds, like my husband and I, who love to travel, then a home based business that requires you to stay home and produce a product is probably not the best business for you. For travel lover, an internet based business is the best option for you.

A home based internet business offers several distinct advantages over other types of home based businesses. The major advantage is that you won’t be tied down. If you have a cell phone and a laptop, you’ll be able to run your business wherever there is an internet connection. This means, if you suddenly want to pick up and take a road trip to California, you’ll have the freedom to do so.

If you tap into the right home internet based opportunity, then you will also be able to make money even if you are not actively working your business. I am a firm believer in having multiple streams of income. But just as important is the fact that your business should also provide ways to generate passive income.

Passive, or residual, income is money that you continue to earn long after you have put in the initial effort to generate it. A prime example of this is book authors earn royalties on their books years after they first wrote and published them. Having streams of passive income in your work at home internet business makes it so your time and your income aren’t so tightly wound together. This provides even more freedom to come and go as you please which is particularly important as we draw closer to our retirement years.

When evaluating home based internet business opportunities, it is important to make sure the business will fit into your active lifestyle. My husband and I settled on online business because it provided us with the maximum amount of freedom, offered opportunities for passive income, and didn’t require us to deal will selling a product or managing inventory.
